1. A broad area of nearly stationary low pressure was located about 900 miles south-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii or about 1050 miles south-southeast of Honolulu. Environmental conditions will support development in this area during the next couple of days.

More ridging over the Gulf of Alaska, resulting in a slower motion and arrival time of the trough on the 0z ECMWF than the 0z GFS.

WindSat did what it does best and missed the system.

Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion

...The Tropics Threaten Once Again...
The models indicate that Hawai'i will continue to remain
vulnerable to disturbances in the trades for the foreseeable
future. A couple of these disturbances--the one about 1,000 miles
south-southeast of the state and another that the 00Z/20 ECMWF
seems to like a week from now--have the potential to develop into
tropical cyclones. Many of the GFS solutions of late, including
the 06Z/20 run, recurve the first low into Hawai'i with a rather
menacing intensification Monday and Tuesday. Even without any
"formal" tropical cyclone, the pattern looks as unsettled and
unpredictable as it has been most of the past month or more.
Five-day QPF through 00Z/26 Wednesday is in excess of
three-quarters of an inch everywhere, with much higher amounts in
the terrain. Any near- or direct-hit from a tropical cyclone could
produce totals in the feet.

The 53rd will depart Travis AFB in an hour or two for Hickam Field/Pearl Harbor.

Re: CPAC: INVEST 93C
Likely already at TD and possibly TS Kilo. CDO has developed nicely overnight with a good anticyclonic outflow at the upper levels. Intensity should steadily increase now. Winds have slowly increased early this morning at Waikiki Beach out of the E to ENE as well as moisture. We are getting light rain showers embedded within the trades at this time.
